What does that have to do with this thread?
But while we're on the topic, yes, I am thinking of the Faustus in the same way.

In fact, it figures significantly in my storyline of the UW (which is progressing nicely - still not done, but much headway has been made

). It's a high-end cruiser, very expensive, and only used by the UNE and it's colonies, because that's the only faction which can afford them.
Except the Faustus is not a military cruiser. The FS tech DB says that it is a civilian design, and as such, it should be devoted to research only, not combat.
